Teamsters union authorizes potential strike at Anheuser-Busch


The Teamsters union's strike authorization vote could increase pressure on Anheuser-Busch to negotiate with the union


The Teamsters union announced Saturday that its members overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike against Anheuser-Busch’s breweries in the U.S. if the union and beermaker are unable to reach an agreement on a new labor contract early next year.

The union said that of the 5,000 Teamsters members who work at 12 Anheuser-Busch breweries in the U.S., 99% voted to authorize a strike if the two sides don’t secure a new labor contract raising wages, protecting jobs and securing benefits. The union’s current contract expires on Feb. 29, 2024.

"Teamsters stand firm in our fight for the best contract at Anheuser-Busch, and this powerful strike vote proves it," said Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien. "Our members’ labor, talent, and sacrifice are what put Anheuser-Busch products on the shelf, and we are committed to getting a contract that rewards and recognizes their hard work."

"If Anheuser-Busch’s executives can’t get their act together to negotiate an agreement that respects workers, we will see them out on the streets," O’Brien added.




Offer them the same contract as last time but with a lifetime supply of Free Bud Light. :jet:

General question, not really specific to AB/Teamsters.

How can these unions strike right before every contract renewal period as a means of pressuring the company? Isn't that violating the existing contract? I understand if they get to the end of the contract period and are unable to come to a new agreement, but if you are still covered by an existing agreement this shouldn't be allowed.

Would they allow the company to refuse to let union workers work starting a couple months before a new contract? Obviously that would be difficult if their entire company is union, but say they have 3 plants and only 1 is union. Can they shut the union plant down SPECIFICALLY to impact those employees ability to negotiate a new contract?

Prominent Right-Wing Figures Line Up to Save Bud Light




Unfortunately, some on the right (ostensibly, at least) are looking to not only save Bud Light but actively rehabilitate its image. Those include Dana White, Tim Pool, and Kid Rock. As part of his podcast, Matt Walsh broke down the situation, including playing clips of each man's insistence that it's time to leave Bud Light alone.

For those that can't watch the video, the general push is that Bud Light has suffered enough and that Republicans have more to gain by having them on our side than not. Specifically, White claims that if you are a patriot, then you should be guzzling Bud Light because it is more aligned with right-wing values than other beer companies. Likewise, Rock and Pool suggest that the victory has already been won, essentially claiming that it's time to let the mercy rule come into play.

Unfortunately, there's more to this story than just some random change of heart among those mentioned. Specifically, Bud Light gave the UFC, owned by White, a $109 million sponsorship deal. Whether the other two guys are also financially involved with the brand in some way, I don't know.

Regardless, conservatives should be asking themselves why they should give two shakes about whether Dana White gets $109 million. As Walsh asks in his segment, how does that help you? How does that help your family? It obviously doesn't. Rather, caring about that is a symptom of the recent Republican trend of being obsessed with what celebrities think.
AB isn't an American company and isn't "more aligned with American values". Dana White needs to go seek other endorsements, i'm sure plenty of other companies would be willing to sponsor the beer at his events or advertise on his programming.

Sean O'Brien... isn't that the mobster wannabe that had to have his ass saved by Bernie Sanders during the Senate Committee hearing?

Maybe I am really dumb, but to me a plan to strike a company that just took a Multi-Billion dollar hit and is having a problem gaining back that ground sounds like madness. Are they deliberately trying to put Anheiser-Busch out of business.?

Bud Light hasn’t fully rebounded as one-year mark of Dylan Mulvaney fiasco approaches: ‘Very stubborn boycott'


'The drinkers that they lost last April and May have not come back to any discernible rate,' Harry Schuhmacher says


Schuhmacher said the ordeal has been so prominent that it has "entered the lexicon" of Americans from all sides of the political spectrum.

"When a brand does something that loses market share you say, ‘Oh, it's a Bud Light moment,’" he said. "We're sitting here a year later, and Bud Light's trends remain almost unchanged since they were last May -- down in the 27% to 28% in volume."

I think at the CEO level they no longer understand the role paying customers play in their business model.



Financial Institutions Controlling the Money Pushing ESG

Environmental Social and Governance

Which leads to DIE at corporations ...


These people ' convince ' the CEO's and Marketing there is this HUGE untapped market of queers who come running to their doors and purchase their products if they embrace Diversity Hires, Hire the likes of Dylan to market their products ...

include ;
woke
Gay
Trans
Gender and / or Race Swap Traditional White Characters

In TV / Movies replace Video Game Characters

when in fact queers are NOT interested in your video game ... $ 200 million spent over 8 years on an Overwatch Clone ... released 2 days ago, record 600 people playing

Budweiser is still circling the drain
